LSU took down Lamar on Thursday night to increase their season record to 7-5 with only one non-conference game left before the Tigers start SEC play on the road against Texas A&M on Jan. 6.
The Tigers have been looking for some consistency from the team this year and adding [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag] back to the team has helped a lot. Head coach Matt McMahon has noticed a trend for his team this year that has led to the Tigers having to dig themselves out of a hole in a majority of their games this year. LSU has struggled during the first half of ball games. Here is what McMahon had to say about it.
“I think there’s a pretty simple formula that you’re finding, the differences in the two halves,” McMahon said, per On3. “The first half Saturday we gave up 10 points off second chance opportunities and we gave up 15 points off our turnovers. So 25 points there, self-inflicted so to say, and the second half that number came down to seven and so we limited their second chance opportunities and did a much better job of taking care of the ball.”
If LSU wants to win an SEC game this season, it will need to fix the self-inflicted wounds.
